Well since drakengard 1 is basically done I am mainly focusing on these games:
Xenoblade chronicles x - I haven’t been playing it much last week but it will be my main focus from now on.
Fire emblem the Sacred Stones on NSO - despite having it on my Wii U and multiple emulator machines, I have never played it.
Zero time dilemma on 3ds - this is the third entry in the zero escape series. I played it near the halfway point I think and then took a long break from it. I think it’s time to finish it but first I will go through the story to get caught up.
I am playing the freedom wars demo now too. I am liking it so far even though combat is a bit stiff on the movement and attacks. I hate that it forces you to listen to the English dub until you go through a couple of tutorials. I might go replay some old switch 1 games on my switch 2 to see how they run but I am not sure lol.
I don’t if I will be able to do much this weekend since I am a little busy but I will try to play the my usual games. Getting used to my switch 2 and trying to get the best picture on my new tv so I can enjoy it better.
Xenoblade X - I Haven’t played it much but I have tried to see how good it looks and runs on switch 2 but I don’t see much of a difference at all. The switch 1 version did a pretty good job on it anyway but xenoblade X looks slightly better on switch 2.
Bravely default 1 on 3ds - I just beat it a few days ago and got the true ending. I still hated the game but the ending had a few surprising moments in it. It was still one of the toughest final boss fights in the game. The game is just very hard unless you have a system where you can cheese the game which is what I did lol. Don’t care that I had to either because it actually was necessary to do so. I will definitely not play part 2 or ever touch this series again.
Drakengard 1 on retroid - I have finally collected all the weapons. Whew. Now I am going to get the final ending in the game. I know it’s going to be crazy. Mentally preparing myself for it. Lol
Got my switch 2 and got everything transferred but I definitely need my sd express card to come in now lol. Only one thing that I have to do in switch 1 where I can’t do it on switch 2 is portal 2. It doesn’t go past the loading screen. That sucks. I still needed to beat the game so I had to hook my switch 1 up again because I want play it on tv. Besides that I am still playing the usual. Didn’t buy any switch 2 games yet believe it or not.
Xenoblade chronicles x - it looks mostly and feels the same as switch 1. Haven’t gotten deep into it from last week. Still doing missions in chapter 4.
Portal 2 - finally done on switch 1. It was such a great game. One of the best I played this year like the first portal game.
Bravely default 1 on 3ds - got to final chapter true ending one. Man this is a tough game even on normal. Had to turn it to easy mode for a couple of fights because it was brutally and I haven’t even got to the final boss yet. Ughh. I can’t wait to finally be done with this game.
Drakengard 1 on retroid - haven’t done much on it. Still got to get to the ending E. Getting all weapons to unlock it is a pain.
Happy gaming everyone! Hope everyone that wanted it was able to get a switch 2 or will in the future
Did play Mario kart world on my friend’s switch 2 and it was fun. Still deciding if I should get it later down the line. Also going to play GameCube nso with him online too. Specifically soul calibur 2. It’s awesome on switch 2
With switch 2 coming I am trying to get games down but I am not buying much for switch 2 at launch anyway 😂. Still playing the usual this past week and weekend.
Xenoblade chronicles X - finally got to chapter 4 after getting sidetracked to much. My only fear of big open world games or just a big place to explore in general os getting side tracked lol. This game does throw too much at you. Still love it though.
Portal 2 on switch - I am on chapter 7 I think. Lol. It’s very good either way. Having a blast with this game. Just as good as the first one if not better.
Bravely default 1 on 3ds - on chapter 7 now but about to be on chapter 8 now. Still have stupid main characters but I M hoping that I am getting close to the end.
Drakengard 1 on retroid - still trying to collect all weapons to unlock the the last ending. Have like 12 weapons left to get.
Mostly the same this of course for games but I did start a new game a few days ago.
Portal 2 - just started it and loving it like the first one, already harder then the first one early in the game but I love it. Great series.
Xenoblade chronicles x - still not much story progress but I am lost in exploring lol. Got a lot done on that though. Will do some story this weekend.
Bravely default 1 on 3ds - on chapter 6 still which is crazy enough. The story did throw some interesting story bits that I did not pick up on. Well just a small one. Still, most of the main characters are stupid besides one of them. The stupid ones are probably the stupidest protagonists I have ever played in a game.
Drakengard 1 on retroid - I am still working on trying to get the last ending. I see why people got very annoyed and gave up in the past if they didn’t have a guide for getting all the weapons lol.
@JohnnyMind for the differences between the switch 1 and switch 2, the Switch 2 version of the game is "expected" to run at 60fps in both TV and portable mode, at a resolution of 1080p. As for the original Switch version, it’s the same on tv for 1080p. But of course portable mode is 720p. The frame rate on the game for switch 1 unclear but it’s said to run between or at 30-60 frames. Whatever that means lol. Atlus isn’t known for bringing out the best out of a system graphically and performance wise so that’s probably why it’s only limited to 1080p docked on switch 2. I would have personally got the switch 1 version so I can upgrade but there is no upgrade for that game.
Been a bit of a crazy week for me but I am hoping to get some games played a bit before switch 2 comes.
Xenoblade chronicles X - still on chapter 3. Haven’t been playing it much but that will change.
Bravely default 1 on 3ds - finally manage to reach chapter 6. Ughh what a unnecessary long game. The main characters except for 1 of them are so freaking stupid!!!!!
Drakengard 1 on retroid - finally got ending D. Wow. That was a crazy and depressing ending. As expected of yoko taro. One ending left. Almost at the end of the game but not really because getting the last ending is tedious lol. Still, I hope to have it done before switch 2 comes out.
Xenoblade chronicles X on switch - still haven’t made much progress. There is a lot of mechanics in that game. Lol
Bravely default 1 on 3ds - made some progress in chapter 5. Still fighting the optional bosses and I have finally got a killer attack combo to beat most bosses with ease. I just want to complete this game. It’s not a great game at all lol.
Drakengard 1 on my retroid - making some progress on getting the last 2 endings. It’s getting even crazier story wise. One of the darkest games I’ve played for sure. But I am liking it.
Might start portal 2 this weekend but who knows lol
Have things to do today so probably won’t be able to game much. Will try to play my usual though.
Xenoblade chronicles X - haven’t been playing it much. I need to sit down and really play it since I keep seeing people here finish or near finish the game lol.
Bravely default 1 on 3ds - ughhh. Still on chapter 5. Doing those optional bosses. After looking a bit into what I will be getting into in the later chapters, I will not be doing any post game stuff like that crazy dungeon. Just getting the true ending and that’s it.
Drakengard 1 on retroid - just got ending B and C. Wow. This game gets even more crazy and depressing storywise like someone said to me a while back. Getting the last 2 endings will take a while. I am on Chapter 11 now. But I am deep into seeing this through.
Well that was hectic time trying to preorder switch 2. Made me hate retail stores now after what they did to me but luckily my friend got me covered. Anyway This is what I am playing:
Xenoblade Chronicles X: just starting chapter 3. Still slow start for me because I am busy. Hopefully I will play more this weekend.
Portal 1 - I bought the portal collection for switch for free with my coins. Beat the first game. Was very short and very good. I now understand why it’s a classic. Great game. That robot was quite the psycho. Lol
Bravely default on 3ds - getting stuck with optional bosses on chapter 5. Need to level up even more since this game can be so tough. Jobs are not leveled up enough. Still hate this game lol
Drakengard 1 on retroid - playing through the side chapters of certain characters now. Hopefully should be finished soon with that.
Busy weekend for me but I will still be playing the usual. Trying to anyway. 😂
Xenoblade chronicles X - about complete chapter 2. Hearing other people get a lot further is making me want to play it more so 😂.
I just bought portal collection on switch. I will slowly work on the first game. Shouldn’t take long though
Bravely default 1 on 3ds - I’ve finally got to chapter 5. About freaking time. It’s a different game from here on out story wise. I still don’t like the game though 😂.
Drakengard 1 on my retroid - after getting the first ending, I am trying to figure out where to go from here. As it’s wonky on how to get the other endings.
What a week 😅. I am playing the usual still but making a little progress.
Xenoblade chronicles X - on chapter 1. So much to explore. Moving very slowly on it. I kind of want to wait until the switch 2 comes out so I can play it on better hardware Though. I do believe it will get an upgrade of some kind.
Bravely default 1 on 3DS - finally did that awful side quests lol but i cheesed it a bit. I don’t care. It was frustrating. Continuing with the story.
Drakengard 1 on my retroid - got to the last chapter in the last part of the game but as Nier/drakengard fans know, it doesn’t end there. This is just one of 5 endings. I will get ending A this weekend but things really got crazy in the last chapter. Pretty brutal game.
@Serpenterror cyberpunk is not a game key card. It’s the actual physical cartridge with the entire game inside. Though I am not 100% sure I think the Zelda games and Metroid prime 4 are all physical game carts too.
@JordonAM it does mean they were off though. Not that much but they were off. Don’t know what your problem is with my statement. Just saying that they are not gods or something when they do this. They are good at what they do but even they make mistakes sometimes. Even some other YouTubers have called them out on certain things and a game Developer on famiboards said something about the switch 2 specs that was the direct opposite of what they said about DLSS. I would believe game developers over digital foundry any day. Digital foundry wasn’t even there at the event from what I heard so they are looking through a capture card or something like that of their own like when they look at trailers for games. I don’t think they are completely off or anything but I think they got the resolutions wrong for certain games.
Also I don’t think switch 2 is native 4k. I think it’s upscaled 4k which is still pretty good and it’s fine with me. I don’t expect 3rd parties of course to do 4k for very high demanding games like cyberpunk of course. Don’t think anyone does lol. I am fine with the games running on switch 2 like it was said by developers. We should see even more impressive stuff soon.
Well that was quite a lot the last few days. Good and bad. I am busy and not in a great state but I am going to try to finish my backlog a bit and games I am playing now.
Xenoblade chronicles X switch - on chapter 1. Didn’t get far at all. Need to catch up.
Choas head Noah on switch - been on the back burner mostly.
Bravely default on 3ds - doing I big side quest. Yes I know the remaster is coming for switch 2 but I hate this game so far so I won’t be getting the remaster for switch 2. I just to complete this game and get rid of it.
Drakengard 1 on emulator - on chapter 6. Things are getting a bit crazier now but I know the twists will hit me harder as I play through this game lol
@bleeflooflah I watched all their videos on switch 2 and they were off. They are not spot on. Spot on means they would have said 4k would be possible for certain games. Maybe smaller ones. They didn’t say that at all from what I have seen. They did a few video about switch 2. They did defend it from haters of course which is great but digital foundry are not right all the time. Also I never mentioned true 4k. Of course it will be upscaling. Don’t know why anyone would think otherwise after looking at all the leaks in the past. Upscaling 4k is something they activly avoided and their demos on what they think matches the switch 2 rumored specs was off. They did mention it would be but it was technically more off then they realized. Switch 2 architecture and PC architecture is different in one major area. The matrix demo I mentioned still stands as well. I am being fair in what I think about digital foundry. You can have your own opinion if you want.
I might get flak for this but digital foundry can be off the mark sometimes when it comes to specs of Nintendo. These are the same guys that said over and over about switch 2 not capable of 4k at all based on rumored specs and couldn’t run the matrix demo rumored a while ago at all either. They were definitely wrong now. Granted 4k upscale won’t be used a lot and probably will only be used in older/less graphical games. Just saying I don’t completely trust digital foundry anymore when it comes to everything they do.
So glad that happened. Nier automata is one of my favorite games period and I have played several hundreds of all sorts of games over several years lol. I am tired of hearing all about western games back then and even now even though I am westerner lol. Used to get made fun of or get a weird look from people when I played games that were made by Japan except for maybe Mario or Zelda games.
Well with card en ciel out of the way, I am making a little progress in Xenoblade X. Not far into it at all though. Hopefully I will get the gears of it running the more I spend time on it.
I am also trying to play more chaos head Noah. I haven’t played it much at all for a while now.
As for other systems: Bravely Default 1 on 3ds is finally moving a little. On a big side quest now which is annoying just like the game but I heard this side quest is definitely worth it.
Drakengard 1 on my retroid - I am I. The middle of chapter 5. Lots of grinding on just trying to upgrade the weapons on this game but it’s worth it if you have played and Nier game. Lol.
Xenoblade X is obviously my main game that I will be playing 😂. I picked up my friend’s copy and he says to wait until he gets back from his trip so we can play it at the same time. I am not waiting though. 😂
Other than that I will be playing card en ciel just a little bit. I beat the game and just got the true ending. Didn’t even know this game had multiple endings. It’s a good game though frustrating at times. This company does make a lot of games hard though 😂
Other then that I am playing bravely default on 3ds. Need to play it more to get it done for good.
I know people on here and elsewhere are taking this with a huge grain of salt. I am too but this isn’t that quick of a turnaround since Nintendo did this time wise before. People on here and the writer of this article forgets that the switch 1 had a second big direct event in January of 2017 before the March 3rd release. It was only around 7 weeks between that second direct and the switch 1 release. So following that logic, May 15th makes sense but I am thinking later in May like May 22 or going to early June. The Nintendo switch 2 hands on events don’t matter or affect the release of the switch 2 either
@FishyS thanks but I didn’t do that crazy dungeon that unlocks near the end which is practically impossible to do without doing new game plus. I won’t say anymore on that but doing that side quest(although it’s on story mode quest for some odd reason) would like another 80 hours 😂.
@ScalenePowers yes. I look at the how long to beat web site all the time for games I am playing so I can chart out which ones to play first and a little in the future. Also yes, fantasian on there is definitely messed up for the hour count. The game with all side quests took me like 80 hours. 😅. Mainly because I kept dying a lot plus o had it on hard. Don’t know why I did that 🤦♂️. If you got the skill tree then you should just be starting the second part of the game which is longer and harder. Don’t know which mode you have it on but it should still be a while before you beat it. If you need any advice for the game let me know.
Just got my GKD Pixel 2 a couple of days ago so I will be messing around with that for retro gaming. It’s such an awesome little device even with some of its flaws. It’s a brand new device afterall.
Anyway the games I am playing now before Xenoblade X DE comes is:
Card en ciel- I just got through some more dungeons. It took a long while for me to get used to the game mechanics but I am now doing great at it. I think I am almost done with the main story. Pretty good game.
Chaos head Noah- I promise to play this one more. 😂
Bravely default 1 on 3ds- gotten far in the fourth chapter. I am just before a major boss fight. Still don’t like this game much at all. 😂
@John_Deacon most of the time yes for coding it in. However if the game has a dynamic resolution and unlocked framerate then it will get a performance boost automatically on more powerful hardware. Some switch games do have this but lots of them don’t too. This game could have probably or it will be some sort of patch because koei tecmo has a good relationship with Nintendo and probably knew about switch 2 for a while. Like others say here say, the switch 2 can’t come soon enough. Luckily I will be busy with xenoblade before I play this but will get it at some point
Well I will be a little busy this week but I beat Fantasian Neo Dimension a few days ago. Did all side quests too. What a game! 😅. It’s like a bunch of old final fantasy games mixed with a little kingdom hearts and maybe a little Nier automata. 😂 long game but a good one. Tough as nails though. It’s frustratingly difficult at times in the second half of the game. Even had to lower the difficulty to normal on some small parts. It’s also a total grind fest if you are going to do everything on it. This game actually forces you to do new game + to complete everything too. I won’t be doing that. Beating the game and side quests is enough for me 😂
Elsewhere I am playing these:
Card en ciel - beat the third dungeon which was much harder then I thought. This game can be tough to master. Getting a good score too is nearly impossible for me 😂.
Bravely default on 3ds - still stuck on chapter 4 but I am just before another tough boss battle. Maybe I will do that and continue this weekend
Chaos head Noah - I need to pick this game up again. Haven’t played it as much as I should. Still on chapter 2
@TotalHenshin I get there has to be a cutoff somewhere, I am just arguing that it’s a stupid cutoff since 90 is so high if you think about it. That 79 example you put up I am not even mentioning. Doesn’t matter to me.
I do agree that Nintendo didn’t have its best year and it isn’t a huge deal especially with switch 2 coming. Got a lot of backlog anyway which most people or gamers rather should have.
It’s complicated here. 2024 wasn’t a stellar year for Nintendo/Nintendo games but it’s stupid to say 90 and higher means a great game. I would say 80 and higher is still a great game. Paper Mario ttyd got 88 on metacritic. That’s a high score and it’s great game. Just because it’s 2 points away from a crazy high score, it’s not a great game? Metacritic can be a joke sometimes. Echoes and jamboree aren’t far from that either.
Xenoblade X of course for me. Even pre ordered it. Atelier yumia looks really good. I think I might get that but I will wait for reviews and such. Another game that is coming out this month that’s not on the list that I most likely will get us the ever 17 bundle. A precursor/prototype to the zero escape games.
Can’t wait for xenoblade X to come out but I want to get games finished first so I am glad it’s coming out in a few weeks.
Fantasian neo dimension - I am almost done with the game. At the final boss now. I think 😂. There is that optional dungeon which requires a metric ton of grinding that I think I might skip because it will require me to do New game plus and I don’t have that much time 😂. I hate new game pluses. I never do them and there no point in doing that for a long rpg.
Bravely default on 3ds - still on chapter 4. Progress is slow because I hate this game and battle system 😂
Chaos head Noah - not made any progress but I should soon. Still on the second chapter
Card en ciel - should make progress on it too after playing the demo and transferring it to the full game.
Let’s see… I bought Card en Ciel just recently so I will be trying to play a little of that. It’s hard to get into battle mechanics wise when it’s been a while since I played the demo. 😂
Playing Fantasian Neo Dimension - near the end I think of the game. Some people weren’t kidding when they said it was very hard in the second part of the game which is why they added an “normal” mode. Some side quests boss kicked my butt even though I was at the recommended level and passed it in some cases. Still a great game though. Really loving it.
Bravely default 1 on 3ds - ugh. About to fight 2 annoying bosses in chapter 4 now.
Finally beat Reynatis a couple of days ago. Main story and the extra episodes. The extra episodes which some take place after the main ending was depressing. Wasn’t expecting it. The game wasn’t good though. Last time I think I ever buy a furyu game even if they big bands attached to it smh. The terrible performance is one of the worst aspects of this game. Crashed on me almost 10 times. Laggiest game I have ever played in a long time.
Playing fantasian neo dimension - beat one crazy annoying hard boss. Geez. I know I had the game on hard but the level recommended is definitely lying 😂. I think I am more then half way there the game but I am not sure. Liking the game a bit so far despite some performance issues here and there.
Chaos head Noah has no progress yet beyond the second chapter but I will try to get into it 😂
Bravely default on 3ds - still on chapter 4. Not much progress. Will try to beat those bosses for exp. Still don’t like the game 😂
I did finish Zelda echoes of wisdom though yesterday. Good game but not my favorite Zelda. Way too much like totk and botw. Don’t like that it’s also part of the old timeline, should have been part of the new timeline with some of the enemies present in it. I hope that these Zelda type games are not going to keep happening but I digress.
Playing reynatis - on chapter 31. Getting to the end. Game is not good at all 😂 sadly.
Playing fantasian neo dimension - haven’t gotten far from last week. Still in the beginning of the second part of the game from what I heard.
Bravely default 1 on 3ds - still on chapter 4. About to take on some bosses. Still not liking the game much 😂
Reynatis - in the middle of chapter 19 now. Things are picking up. I think 😂
Zelda echoes of wisdom - on my way to the sixth dungeon? now after beating eldin in the Faron wetland. Interesting place. Still quite a lot like totk. The dekus here are funny.
Fantasian neo dimension - I got through the first part/half of the game. What a ride. Now I am just beginning the Brutal second part of the game. Might have to play it on normal mode after what I heard 😂
Maybe play a little super Mario party jamboree.
Got to get back to playing choas head Noah. 😂
On the 3ds I am playing bravely default still. I am on chapter 4 now though at least. Hopefully it picks up
@UltimateOtaku91 Bayonetta and Tokyo mirage sessions and astral chain(now) are Nintendo games. Well Bayonetta 1 is multiplat though. Live a live was exclusive to Nintendo for a long time until the remake but that doesn’t count
Well after the switch 2 trailer reveal just dropped, I got to work harder to get my backlog done and pick up a few games before it arrives but in the meantime I am still playing:
Reynatis - in the middle of chapter 16 now. Performance and graphics still bad 😂
Zelda echoes of wisdom - on my way to the fourth dungeon now I think which is eldin. Game has opened up more and it’s not bad. Not my favorite 2d Zelda but it good so far. Too much like totk though is what drags it down for me.
Fantasian neo dimension - I am trying to escape this jail for now lol. I heard I am in still in the part 1 of this game.
Maybe play a little super Mario party jamboree.
Got to get back to playing choas head Noah. 😂
On the 3ds I am playing bravely default still. Long flipping game. Still not liking it. I am on chapter 4 now though at least. Hopefully it picks up
Kamiya needs to tone it down sometimes. I agree with him in a small part on this but this specific matter about the switch 2 was going to happen anyway. Leaks happen. Just get over it. Sorry to say that but I am not sorry lol
Currently playing: Fantasian neo dimension - on the first half of the game. Liking it so far except for some performance issues on switch.
Zelda echoes - just beat the second dungeon. About to head to the next phase of the story it seems. A charming game but I don’t see the fuss about it. Liked old 2d Zelda games better still.
Reynatis - in the middle of chapter 11. Story is starting to pick up and it’s not bad but the performance and sometimes graphics in some areas are the worst. Don’t know why I picked this game up 🤦♂️.
Playing through bravely default 1 on 3ds. This game is so long ughhh. I still don’t like the game but I got to finish it. I just got to chapter 4. It better get interesting because so far it isn’t.
Very interesting and cool that unicorn overlord made it to the top. I haven’t gone past the demo but it was an interesting game. I might get the full game later down the line. Games that released in 2024 on switch that are my top 3 are paper Mario ttyd(the best game this year) super Mario party jamboree(I guess) and fantasian(though I am Nowhere near finished with the game 😂). All other games I played and beat this year where games that came out in 2023 or an earlier year. Don’t have much love for Zelda echoes for many reasons but it’s good to play a 2d Zelda I guess. Game is too much like totk which is the biggest disappointment for me. I hope this is not a standard going forward
For the weekend, I am playing the fantasian demo which I am liking so far. Curious to see how hard it gets when I get the full game by christmas.
Still working on chaos head Noah. Only still on chapter 1 😂
I might play some Megaman battle network collection but it’s not a backlog game for me.
On the 3ds side, bravely default 1 is the main game I am working on. In the middle of chapter 3 so far. Still not liking the game. Hope it gets better. Freaking hard game too.
It’s already been said but the game doesn’t really need a sequel in my opinion as the game is pretty much a complete experience story wise and it’s a very long game. As some people on here said. Vanillaware doesn’t really do sequels and while I won’t mind it, I think it’s best they keep making more new games rather the sequels and seeing things we already have seen before. Plus it takes a long time for them to make games so might as well do new games then sequels in my view.
Mine is 25 games at around 1000 hours. Yeah. Kinda of crazy 😂. Top 3 games I played were: Fire emblem engage Octopath traveler 2 Fortnite(but I play for friends and family.)
Shame to put fortnite there but if not for fortnite then it would be baten kaitos(origins/2 specifically)
I will not give out the hours I put in all of my games 😂. The game I picked for my game of the year is paper Mario ttyd. Was so good! A close second would probably be 13 sentinels. Such a good game. Either that for my close second or Mario wonder, fire emblem engage, star ocean 2, octopath traveler 2 Or Voice of cards the forsaken maiden. All great games.
It’s been a while since I posted anything. But I am not doing much gaming besides playing a little Mario party jamboree maybe. Some chaos head Noah probably. And on the 3ds side, bravely default 1 which I want to finish so I can be done with finally ughh. I am not liking that game much at all.
Could be a Metroid prime 4 trailer or something and possibly an announcement of Metroid 2 and/or 3 but beyond that(lol) I don’t see Nintendo doing anything else. I have said this on other sites and stuff but Nintendo or at least Nintendo of japan of doesn’t see game awards as a place to announce the most crazy things. Would love to be proven wrong but if last year’s game awards(wrap it up statement) is anything to go by then I would say it will be the same. Nintendo doesn’t need game awards. Geoff can beg all he wants like he always does to Nintendo but Nintendo does what they want. Simple as that.
I usually have my own personal game of the year awards with myself and a friend. We rate all games we played throughout the year no matter the year they came out. My nominations list is:
Super Mario wonder Fire emblem engage Star ocean 2 the second story R 13 sentinels Paper Mario the thousand year door Octopath traveler 2 Voice of cards: the forsaken maiden
I played non switch non Nintendo games too but none were on this list this year. Yes, most of these games did not come out this year but that just goes to show you that 2024 for Nintendo for me wasn’t that great. Although I want to play emio, I will hold off on it. Echoes of wisdom is something I have to get later even though I know I won’t like the game much so it won’t get goty from me regardless lol. Super Mario party jamboree is good but definitely not the best Mario party game.
After looking at my list, paper Mario the thousand year door wins game of the year to me. Just such an amazing game done even better somehow. Not a single weakness in that game to me. There are some close runner ups like 13 sentinels or octopath 2 but they had some problems in certain areas where it kept from being my game goty. Well every game on that list besides paper Mario is a close runner up though 😂

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (12th July)
Wow. It’s been a while since I posted on these articles but I have been busy. Not much has changed but I am playing these games so far:
Xenoblade chronicles X definitive - on chapter 6 but keep getting side tracked. Ughh
Fire emblem the scared stones on NSO - on chapter 2 now. Barely have begun but I am making progress.
Zero time dilemma on 3ds - still playing around with figuring out stuff.
Cant wait to play donkey Kong bananza
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (21st June)
Well since drakengard 1 is basically done I am mainly focusing on these games:
Xenoblade chronicles x - I haven’t been playing it much last week but it will be my main focus from now on.
Fire emblem the Sacred Stones on NSO - despite having it on my Wii U and multiple emulator machines, I have never played it.
Zero time dilemma on 3ds - this is the third entry in the zero escape series. I played it near the halfway point I think and then took a long break from it. I think it’s time to finish it but first I will go through the story to get caught up.
I am playing the freedom wars demo now too. I am liking it so far even though combat is a bit stiff on the movement and attacks. I hate that it forces you to listen to the English dub until you go through a couple of tutorials.
I might go replay some old switch 1 games on my switch 2 to see how they run but I am not sure lol.
Happy gaming everyone!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (14th June)
I don’t if I will be able to do much this weekend since I am a little busy but I will try to play the my usual games. Getting used to my switch 2 and trying to get the best picture on my new tv so I can enjoy it better.
Xenoblade X - I Haven’t played it much but I have tried to see how good it looks and runs on switch 2 but I don’t see much of a difference at all. The switch 1 version did a pretty good job on it anyway but xenoblade X looks slightly better on switch 2.
Bravely default 1 on 3ds - I just beat it a few days ago and got the true ending. I still hated the game but the ending had a few surprising moments in it. It was still one of the toughest final boss fights in the game. The game is just very hard unless you have a system where you can cheese the game which is what I did lol. Don’t care that I had to either because it actually was necessary to do so. I will definitely not play part 2 or ever touch this series again.
Drakengard 1 on retroid - I have finally collected all the weapons. Whew. Now I am going to get the final ending in the game. I know it’s going to be crazy. Mentally preparing myself for it. Lol
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition (7th June)
Got my switch 2 and got everything transferred but I definitely need my sd express card to come in now lol. Only one thing that I have to do in switch 1 where I can’t do it on switch 2 is portal 2. It doesn’t go past the loading screen. That sucks. I still needed to beat the game so I had to hook my switch 1 up again because I want play it on tv. Besides that I am still playing the usual. Didn’t buy any switch 2 games yet believe it or not.
Xenoblade chronicles x - it looks mostly and feels the same as switch 1. Haven’t gotten deep into it from last week. Still doing missions in chapter 4.
Portal 2 - finally done on switch 1. It was such a great game. One of the best I played this year like the first portal game.
Bravely default 1 on 3ds - got to final chapter true ending one. Man this is a tough game even on normal. Had to turn it to easy mode for a couple of fights because it was brutally and I haven’t even got to the final boss yet. Ughh. I can’t wait to finally be done with this game.
Drakengard 1 on retroid - haven’t done much on it. Still got to get to the ending E. Getting all weapons to unlock it is a pain.
Happy gaming everyone! Hope everyone that wanted it was able to get a switch 2 or will in the future
Did play Mario kart world on my friend’s switch 2 and it was fun. Still deciding if I should get it later down the line. Also going to play GameCube nso with him online too. Specifically soul calibur 2. It’s awesome on switch 2
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (31st May)
With switch 2 coming I am trying to get games down but I am not buying much for switch 2 at launch anyway 😂. Still playing the usual this past week and weekend.
Xenoblade chronicles X - finally got to chapter 4 after getting sidetracked to much. My only fear of big open world games or just a big place to explore in general os getting side tracked lol. This game does throw too much at you. Still love it though.
Portal 2 on switch - I am on chapter 7 I think. Lol. It’s very good either way. Having a blast with this game. Just as good as the first one if not better.
Bravely default 1 on 3ds - on chapter 7 now but about to be on chapter 8 now. Still have stupid main characters but I M hoping that I am getting close to the end.
Drakengard 1 on retroid - still trying to collect all weapons to unlock the the last ending. Have like 12 weapons left to get.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (24th May)
Mostly the same this of course for games but I did start a new game a few days ago.
Portal 2 - just started it and loving it like the first one, already harder then the first one early in the game but I love it. Great series.
Xenoblade chronicles x - still not much story progress but I am lost in exploring lol. Got a lot done on that though. Will do some story this weekend.
Bravely default 1 on 3ds - on chapter 6 still which is crazy enough. The story did throw some interesting story bits that I did not pick up on. Well just a small one. Still, most of the main characters are stupid besides one of them. The stupid ones are probably the stupidest protagonists I have ever played in a game.
Drakengard 1 on retroid - I am still working on trying to get the last ending. I see why people got very annoyed and gave up in the past if they didn’t have a guide for getting all the weapons lol.
Re: First Impressions: We've Played Three SEGA Games On Switch 2
@JohnnyMind for the differences between the switch 1 and switch 2, the Switch 2 version of the game is "expected" to run at 60fps in both TV and portable mode, at a resolution of 1080p.
As for the original Switch version, it’s the same on tv for 1080p. But of course portable mode is 720p. The frame rate on the game for switch 1 unclear but it’s said to run between or at 30-60 frames. Whatever that means lol. Atlus isn’t known for bringing out the best out of a system graphically and performance wise so that’s probably why it’s only limited to 1080p docked on switch 2. I would have personally got the switch 1 version so I can upgrade but there is no upgrade for that game.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (17th May)
Been a bit of a crazy week for me but I am hoping to get some games played a bit before switch 2 comes.
Xenoblade chronicles X - still on chapter 3. Haven’t been playing it much but that will change.
Bravely default 1 on 3ds - finally manage to reach chapter 6. Ughh what a unnecessary long game. The main characters except for 1 of them are so freaking stupid!!!!!
Drakengard 1 on retroid - finally got ending D. Wow. That was a crazy and depressing ending. As expected of yoko taro. One ending left. Almost at the end of the game but not really because getting the last ending is tedious lol. Still, I hope to have it done before switch 2 comes out.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (10th May)
Happy Mother’s Day to everyone!
As for my gaming. Still the usual.
Xenoblade chronicles X on switch - still haven’t made much progress. There is a lot of mechanics in that game. Lol
Bravely default 1 on 3ds - made some progress in chapter 5. Still fighting the optional bosses and I have finally got a killer attack combo to beat most bosses with ease. I just want to complete this game. It’s not a great game at all lol.
Drakengard 1 on my retroid - making some progress on getting the last 2 endings. It’s getting even crazier story wise. One of the darkest games I’ve played for sure. But I am liking it.
Might start portal 2 this weekend but who knows lol
Happy gaming everyone!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (3rd May)
Have things to do today so probably won’t be able to game much. Will try to play my usual though.
Xenoblade chronicles X - haven’t been playing it much. I need to sit down and really play it since I keep seeing people here finish or near finish the game lol.
Bravely default 1 on 3ds - ughhh. Still on chapter 5. Doing those optional bosses. After looking a bit into what I will be getting into in the later chapters, I will not be doing any post game stuff like that crazy dungeon. Just getting the true ending and that’s it.
Drakengard 1 on retroid - just got ending B and C. Wow. This game gets even more crazy and depressing storywise like someone said to me a while back. Getting the last 2 endings will take a while. I am on Chapter 11 now. But I am deep into seeing this through.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (26th April)
Well that was hectic time trying to preorder switch 2. Made me hate retail stores now after what they did to me but luckily my friend got me covered. Anyway This is what I am playing:
Xenoblade Chronicles X: just starting chapter 3. Still slow start for me because I am busy. Hopefully I will play more this weekend.
Portal 1 - I bought the portal collection for switch for free with my coins. Beat the first game. Was very short and very good. I now understand why it’s a classic. Great game. That robot was quite the psycho. Lol
Bravely default on 3ds - getting stuck with optional bosses on chapter 5. Need to level up even more since this game can be so tough. Jobs are not leveled up enough. Still hate this game lol
Drakengard 1 on retroid - playing through the side chapters of certain characters now. Hopefully should be finished soon with that.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (19th April)
Busy weekend for me but I will still be playing the usual. Trying to anyway. 😂
Xenoblade chronicles X - about complete chapter 2. Hearing other people get a lot further is making me want to play it more so 😂.
I just bought portal collection on switch. I will slowly work on the first game. Shouldn’t take long though
Bravely default 1 on 3ds - I’ve finally got to chapter 5. About freaking time. It’s a different game from here on out story wise. I still don’t like the game though 😂.
Drakengard 1 on my retroid - after getting the first ending, I am trying to figure out where to go from here. As it’s wonky on how to get the other endings.
Happy gaming everyone and happy Easter
Re: Review: Lunar Remastered Collection (Switch) - Two Of The Most Charming RPGs Ever Get A Fair, If Flawed, Port
@Justifier @JohnnyMind it has Japanese voice acting as an option. Which is great for us that want it.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (12th April)
What a week 😅. I am playing the usual still but making a little progress.
Xenoblade chronicles X - on chapter 1. So much to explore. Moving very slowly on it. I kind of want to wait until the switch 2 comes out so I can play it on better hardware Though. I do believe it will get an upgrade of some kind.
Bravely default 1 on 3DS - finally did that awful side quests lol but i cheesed it a bit. I don’t care. It was frustrating. Continuing with the story.
Drakengard 1 on my retroid - got to the last chapter in the last part of the game but as Nier/drakengard fans know, it doesn’t end there. This is just one of 5 endings. I will get ending A this weekend but things really got crazy in the last chapter. Pretty brutal game.
Re: Konami Appears To Be Releasing Suikoden I & II HD Remaster On Switch 2
@Serpenterror cyberpunk is not a game key card. It’s the actual physical cartridge with the entire game inside. Though I am not 100% sure I think the Zelda games and Metroid prime 4 are all physical game carts too.
Re: Digital Foundry Says Switch 2 Running Switch Games At 4K Is "Quite The Thing" In Performance Breakdown
@JordonAM it does mean they were off though. Not that much but they were off. Don’t know what your problem is with my statement. Just saying that they are not gods or something when they do this. They are good at what they do but even they make mistakes sometimes. Even some other YouTubers have called them out on certain things and a game Developer on famiboards said something about the switch 2 specs that was the direct opposite of what they said about DLSS. I would believe game developers over digital foundry any day. Digital foundry wasn’t even there at the event from what I heard so they are looking through a capture card or something like that of their own like when they look at trailers for games. I don’t think they are completely off or anything but I think they got the resolutions wrong for certain games.
Also I don’t think switch 2 is native 4k. I think it’s upscaled 4k which is still pretty good and it’s fine with me. I don’t expect 3rd parties of course to do 4k for very high demanding games like cyberpunk of course. Don’t think anyone does lol. I am fine with the games running on switch 2 like it was said by developers. We should see even more impressive stuff soon.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (5th April)
Well that was quite a lot the last few days. Good and bad. I am busy and not in a great state but I am going to try to finish my backlog a bit and games I am playing now.
Xenoblade chronicles X switch - on chapter 1. Didn’t get far at all. Need to catch up.
Choas head Noah on switch - been on the back burner mostly.
Bravely default on 3ds - doing I big side quest. Yes I know the remaster is coming for switch 2 but I hate this game so far so I won’t be getting the remaster for switch 2. I just to complete this game and get rid of it.
Drakengard 1 on emulator - on chapter 6. Things are getting a bit crazier now but I know the twists will hit me harder as I play through this game lol
Happy gaming everyone
Re: Digital Foundry Says Switch 2 Running Switch Games At 4K Is "Quite The Thing" In Performance Breakdown
@bleeflooflah I watched all their videos on switch 2 and they were off. They are not spot on. Spot on means they would have said 4k would be possible for certain games. Maybe smaller ones. They didn’t say that at all from what I have seen. They did a few video about switch 2. They did defend it from haters of course which is great but digital foundry are not right all the time. Also I never mentioned true 4k. Of course it will be upscaling. Don’t know why anyone would think otherwise after looking at all the leaks in the past. Upscaling 4k is something they activly avoided and their demos on what they think matches the switch 2 rumored specs was off. They did mention it would be but it was technically more off then they realized. Switch 2 architecture and PC architecture is different in one major area. The matrix demo I mentioned still stands as well. I am being fair in what I think about digital foundry. You can have your own opinion if you want.
Re: Digital Foundry Says Switch 2 Running Switch Games At 4K Is "Quite The Thing" In Performance Breakdown
I might get flak for this but digital foundry can be off the mark sometimes when it comes to specs of Nintendo. These are the same guys that said over and over about switch 2 not capable of 4k at all based on rumored specs and couldn’t run the matrix demo rumored a while ago at all either. They were definitely wrong now. Granted 4k upscale won’t be used a lot and probably will only be used in older/less graphical games. Just saying I don’t completely trust digital foundry anymore when it comes to everything they do.
Re: Nier Automata's Dev Was "Ordered" To Ignore What The West Thinks Of His Game
So glad that happened. Nier automata is one of my favorite games period and I have played several hundreds of all sorts of games over several years lol. I am tired of hearing all about western games back then and even now even though I am westerner lol. Used to get made fun of or get a weird look from people when I played games that were made by Japan except for maybe Mario or Zelda games.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (29th March)
Well with card en ciel out of the way, I am making a little progress in Xenoblade X. Not far into it at all though. Hopefully I will get the gears of it running the more I spend time on it.
I am also trying to play more chaos head Noah. I haven’t played it much at all for a while now.
As for other systems: Bravely Default 1 on 3ds is finally moving a little. On a big side quest now which is annoying just like the game but I heard this side quest is definitely worth it.
Drakengard 1 on my retroid - I am I. The middle of chapter 5. Lots of grinding on just trying to upgrade the weapons on this game but it’s worth it if you have played and Nier game. Lol.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (22nd March)
Xenoblade X is obviously my main game that I will be playing 😂. I picked up my friend’s copy and he says to wait until he gets back from his trip so we can play it at the same time. I am not waiting though. 😂
Other than that I will be playing card en ciel just a little bit. I beat the game and just got the true ending. Didn’t even know this game had multiple endings. It’s a good game though frustrating at times. This company does make a lot of games hard though 😂
Other then that I am playing bravely default on 3ds. Need to play it more to get it done for good.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (22nd March)
@GregamanX Nier is a 10 out of 10 for sure. It picks up more later.
Re: Rumour: Latest Switch 2 Theory Suggests Release Date Might Be Right Around The Corner
I know people on here and elsewhere are taking this with a huge grain of salt. I am too but this isn’t that quick of a turnaround since Nintendo did this time wise before. People on here and the writer of this article forgets that the switch 1 had a second big direct event in January of 2017 before the March 3rd release. It was only around 7 weeks between that second direct and the switch 1 release. So following that logic, May 15th makes sense but I am thinking later in May like May 22 or going to early June. The Nintendo switch 2 hands on events don’t matter or affect the release of the switch 2 either
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (15th March)
@FishyS thanks but I didn’t do that crazy dungeon that unlocks near the end which is practically impossible to do without doing new game plus. I won’t say anymore on that but doing that side quest(although it’s on story mode quest for some odd reason) would like another 80 hours 😂.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (15th March)
@ScalenePowers yes. I look at the how long to beat web site all the time for games I am playing so I can chart out which ones to play first and a little in the future. Also yes, fantasian on there is definitely messed up for the hour count. The game with all side quests took me like 80 hours. 😅. Mainly because I kept dying a lot plus o had it on hard. Don’t know why I did that 🤦♂️. If you got the skill tree then you should just be starting the second part of the game which is longer and harder. Don’t know which mode you have it on but it should still be a while before you beat it. If you need any advice for the game let me know.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (15th March)
Just got my GKD Pixel 2 a couple of days ago so I will be messing around with that for retro gaming. It’s such an awesome little device even with some of its flaws. It’s a brand new device afterall.
Anyway the games I am playing now before Xenoblade X DE comes is:
Card en ciel- I just got through some more dungeons. It took a long while for me to get used to the game mechanics but I am now doing great at it. I think I am almost done with the main story. Pretty good game.
Chaos head Noah- I promise to play this one more. 😂
Bravely default 1 on 3ds- gotten far in the fourth chapter. I am just before a major boss fight. Still don’t like this game much at all. 😂
Re: Review: Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist Of Memories & The Envisioned Land (Switch) - A Bold New Direction That Strains The Switch
@John_Deacon most of the time yes for coding it in. However if the game has a dynamic resolution and unlocked framerate then it will get a performance boost automatically on more powerful hardware. Some switch games do have this but lots of them don’t too. This game could have probably or it will be some sort of patch because koei tecmo has a good relationship with Nintendo and probably knew about switch 2 for a while. Like others say here say, the switch 2 can’t come soon enough. Luckily I will be busy with xenoblade before I play this but will get it at some point
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (8th March)
Well I will be a little busy this week but I beat Fantasian Neo Dimension a few days ago. Did all side quests too. What a game! 😅. It’s like a bunch of old final fantasy games mixed with a little kingdom hearts and maybe a little Nier automata. 😂 long game but a good one. Tough as nails though. It’s frustratingly difficult at times in the second half of the game. Even had to lower the difficulty to normal on some small parts. It’s also a total grind fest if you are going to do everything on it. This game actually forces you to do new game + to complete everything too. I won’t be doing that. Beating the game and side quests is enough for me 😂
Elsewhere I am playing these:
Card en ciel - beat the third dungeon which was much harder then I thought. This game can be tough to master. Getting a good score too is nearly impossible for me 😂.
Bravely default on 3ds - still stuck on chapter 4 but I am just before another tough boss battle. Maybe I will do that and continue this weekend
Chaos head Noah - I need to pick this game up again. Haven’t played it as much as I should. Still on chapter 2
Re: Nintendo Places Outside Top 20 In Metacritic's 15th Annual Game Publisher Rankings
@TotalHenshin I get there has to be a cutoff somewhere, I am just arguing that it’s a stupid cutoff since 90 is so high if you think about it. That 79 example you put up I am not even mentioning. Doesn’t matter to me.
I do agree that Nintendo didn’t have its best year and it isn’t a huge deal especially with switch 2 coming. Got a lot of backlog anyway which most people or gamers rather should have.
Re: Nintendo Places Outside Top 20 In Metacritic's 15th Annual Game Publisher Rankings
It’s complicated here. 2024 wasn’t a stellar year for Nintendo/Nintendo games but it’s stupid to say 90 and higher means a great game. I would say 80 and higher is still a great game. Paper Mario ttyd got 88 on metacritic. That’s a high score and it’s great game. Just because it’s 2 points away from a crazy high score, it’s not a great game? Metacritic can be a joke sometimes. Echoes and jamboree aren’t far from that either.
Re: Video: 12 Exciting New Games Coming To Nintendo Switch In March 2025
Xenoblade X of course for me. Even pre ordered it. Atelier yumia looks really good. I think I might get that but I will wait for reviews and such. Another game that is coming out this month that’s not on the list that I most likely will get us the ever 17 bundle. A precursor/prototype to the zero escape games.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (1st March)
Can’t wait for xenoblade X to come out but I want to get games finished first so I am glad it’s coming out in a few weeks.
Fantasian neo dimension - I am almost done with the game. At the final boss now. I think 😂. There is that optional dungeon which requires a metric ton of grinding that I think I might skip because it will require me to do New game plus and I don’t have that much time 😂. I hate new game pluses. I never do them and there no point in doing that for a long rpg.
Bravely default on 3ds - still on chapter 4. Progress is slow because I hate this game and battle system 😂
Chaos head Noah - not made any progress but I should soon. Still on the second chapter
Card en ciel - should make progress on it too after playing the demo and transferring it to the full game.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (22nd February)
Let’s see… I bought Card en Ciel just recently so I will be trying to play a little of that. It’s hard to get into battle mechanics wise when it’s been a while since I played the demo. 😂
Playing Fantasian Neo Dimension - near the end I think of the game. Some people weren’t kidding when they said it was very hard in the second part of the game which is why they added an “normal” mode. Some side quests boss kicked my butt even though I was at the recommended level and passed it in some cases. Still a great game though. Really loving it.
Bravely default 1 on 3ds - ugh. About to fight 2 annoying bosses in chapter 4 now.
Maybe do some chaos head Noah if I can.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (8th February)
Finally beat Reynatis a couple of days ago. Main story and the extra episodes. The extra episodes which some take place after the main ending was depressing. Wasn’t expecting it. The game wasn’t good though. Last time I think I ever buy a furyu game even if they big bands attached to it smh. The terrible performance is one of the worst aspects of this game. Crashed on me almost 10 times. Laggiest game I have ever played in a long time.
Playing fantasian neo dimension - beat one crazy annoying hard boss. Geez. I know I had the game on hard but the level recommended is definitely lying 😂. I think I am more then half way there the game but I am not sure. Liking the game a bit so far despite some performance issues here and there.
Chaos head Noah has no progress yet beyond the second chapter but I will try to get into it 😂
Bravely default on 3ds - still on chapter 4. Not much progress. Will try to beat those bosses for exp. Still don’t like the game 😂
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (1st February)
Rough week. Ugh.
I did finish Zelda echoes of wisdom though yesterday. Good game but not my favorite Zelda. Way too much like totk and botw. Don’t like that it’s also part of the old timeline, should have been part of the new timeline with some of the enemies present in it. I hope that these Zelda type games are not going to keep happening but I digress.
Playing reynatis - on chapter 31. Getting to the end. Game is not good at all 😂 sadly.
Playing fantasian neo dimension - haven’t gotten far from last week. Still in the beginning of the second part of the game from what I heard.
Bravely default 1 on 3ds - still on chapter 4. About to take on some bosses. Still not liking the game much 😂
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (25th January)
I am still playing:
Reynatis - in the middle of chapter 19 now. Things are picking up. I think 😂
Zelda echoes of wisdom - on my way to the sixth dungeon? now after beating eldin in the Faron wetland. Interesting place. Still quite a lot like totk. The dekus here are funny.
Fantasian neo dimension - I got through the first part/half of the game. What a ride. Now I am just beginning the Brutal second part of the game. Might have to play it on normal mode after what I heard 😂
Maybe play a little super Mario party jamboree.
Got to get back to playing choas head Noah. 😂
On the 3ds I am playing bravely default still. I am on chapter 4 now though at least. Hopefully it picks up
Re: Where To Pre-Order Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition On Switch
@UltimateOtaku91 Bayonetta and Tokyo mirage sessions and astral chain(now) are Nintendo games. Well Bayonetta 1 is multiplat though. Live a live was exclusive to Nintendo for a long time until the remake but that doesn’t count
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (18th January)
Well after the switch 2 trailer reveal just dropped, I got to work harder to get my backlog done and pick up a few games before it arrives but in the meantime I am still playing:
Reynatis - in the middle of chapter 16 now. Performance and graphics still bad 😂
Zelda echoes of wisdom - on my way to the fourth dungeon now I think which is eldin. Game has opened up more and it’s not bad. Not my favorite 2d Zelda but it good so far. Too much like totk though is what drags it down for me.
Fantasian neo dimension - I am trying to escape this jail for now lol. I heard I am in still in the part 1 of this game.
Maybe play a little super Mario party jamboree.
Got to get back to playing choas head Noah. 😂
On the 3ds I am playing bravely default still. Long flipping game. Still not liking it. I am on chapter 4 now though at least. Hopefully it picks up
Re: Random: Switch 2 Leakers Called Out By Industry Veteran Hideki Kamiya
Kamiya needs to tone it down sometimes. I agree with him in a small part on this but this specific matter about the switch 2 was going to happen anyway. Leaks happen. Just get over it. Sorry to say that but I am not sorry lol
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (11th January)
@BodkinDQ unicorn overlord released in 2024
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (11th January)
Currently playing: Fantasian neo dimension - on the first half of the game. Liking it so far except for some performance issues on switch.
Zelda echoes - just beat the second dungeon. About to head to the next phase of the story it seems. A charming game but I don’t see the fuss about it. Liked old 2d Zelda games better still.
Reynatis - in the middle of chapter 11. Story is starting to pick up and it’s not bad but the performance and sometimes graphics in some areas are the worst. Don’t know why I picked this game up 🤦♂️.
Playing through bravely default 1 on 3ds. This game is so long ughhh. I still don’t like the game but I got to finish it. I just got to chapter 4. It better get interesting because so far it isn’t.
Re: Best Nintendo Switch Games Of 2024
Very interesting and cool that unicorn overlord made it to the top. I haven’t gone past the demo but it was an interesting game. I might get the full game later down the line. Games that released in 2024 on switch that are my top 3 are paper Mario ttyd(the best game this year) super Mario party jamboree(I guess) and fantasian(though I am Nowhere near finished with the game 😂). All other games I played and beat this year where games that came out in 2023 or an earlier year. Don’t have much love for Zelda echoes for many reasons but it’s good to play a 2d Zelda I guess. Game is too much like totk which is the biggest disappointment for me. I hope this is not a standard going forward
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (Christmas 2024 Edition)
For the weekend, I am playing the fantasian demo which I am liking so far. Curious to see how hard it gets when I get the full game by christmas.
Still working on chaos head Noah. Only still on chapter 1 😂
I might play some Megaman battle network collection but it’s not a backlog game for me.
On the 3ds side, bravely default 1 is the main game I am working on. In the middle of chapter 3 so far. Still not liking the game. Hope it gets better. Freaking hard game too.
Happy holidays everyone!
Re: Sorry, But There Are "Currently No Plans" For A Unicorn Overlord Sequel Or DLC
It’s already been said but the game doesn’t really need a sequel in my opinion as the game is pretty much a complete experience story wise and it’s a very long game. As some people on here said. Vanillaware doesn’t really do sequels and while I won’t mind it, I think it’s best they keep making more new games rather the sequels and seeing things we already have seen before. Plus it takes a long time for them to make games so might as well do new games then sequels in my view.
Re: Feature: Nintendo Switch Year In Review 2024 - Our Most Played Games
Mine is 25 games at around 1000 hours. Yeah. Kinda of crazy 😂.
Top 3 games I played were:
Fire emblem engage
Octopath traveler 2
Fortnite(but I play for friends and family.)
Shame to put fortnite there but if not for fortnite then it would be baten kaitos(origins/2 specifically)
I will not give out the hours I put in all of my games 😂. The game I picked for my game of the year is paper Mario ttyd. Was so good! A close second would probably be 13 sentinels. Such a good game. Either that for my close second or Mario wonder, fire emblem engage, star ocean 2, octopath traveler 2 Or Voice of cards the forsaken maiden. All great games.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (14th December)
It’s been a while since I posted anything. But I am not doing much gaming besides playing a little Mario party jamboree maybe. Some chaos head Noah probably. And on the 3ds side, bravely default 1 which I want to finish so I can be done with finally ughh. I am not liking that game much at all.
Re: Poll: It's Almost Time For The Game Awards, But Are You Expecting Much Switch News?
Could be a Metroid prime 4 trailer or something and possibly an announcement of Metroid 2 and/or 3 but beyond that(lol) I don’t see Nintendo doing anything else. I have said this on other sites and stuff but Nintendo or at least Nintendo of japan of doesn’t see game awards as a place to announce the most crazy things. Would love to be proven wrong but if last year’s game awards(wrap it up statement) is anything to go by then I would say it will be the same. Nintendo doesn’t need game awards. Geoff can beg all he wants like he always does to Nintendo but Nintendo does what they want. Simple as that.
Re: Rate Your Favourite Switch Games Of The Year 2024
I usually have my own personal game of the year awards with myself and a friend. We rate all games we played throughout the year no matter the year they came out. My nominations list is:
Super Mario wonder
Fire emblem engage
Star ocean 2 the second story R
13 sentinels
Paper Mario the thousand year door
Octopath traveler 2
Voice of cards: the forsaken maiden
I played non switch non Nintendo games too but none were on this list this year. Yes, most of these games did not come out this year but that just goes to show you that 2024 for Nintendo for me wasn’t that great. Although I want to play emio, I will hold off on it. Echoes of wisdom is something I have to get later even though I know I won’t like the game much so it won’t get goty from me regardless lol. Super Mario party jamboree is good but definitely not the best Mario party game.
After looking at my list, paper Mario the thousand year door wins game of the year to me. Just such an amazing game done even better somehow. Not a single weakness in that game to me. There are some close runner ups like 13 sentinels or octopath 2 but they had some problems in certain areas where it kept from being my game goty. Well every game on that list besides paper Mario is a close runner up though 😂
Re: Piggyback And Nintendo Are Teaming Up On A Metroid Prime Art Book, And It Looks Glorious
@gcunit other m isn’t a prime game. It takes place in the regular/main Metroid series and is set after super Metroid but before fusion I believe
